MATERIALS

Porous plastic components can be produced from a variety of polymers, including engineered plastics. Component form and function drive the material selection process.

 

Plastic grinding process
Pre molding powered plastic raw material.
Pore Structure of sintered polyethylene (200X).

Polyethylene (PE)

is non-toxic, odorless, tasteless. Many grades are FDA compliant for use in food processing and handling equipment. When sintered, its color is white. Functional temperature range is: -26° to 180° F.

 

Polypropylene (PP)

PP offers a combination of outstanding physical, mechanical, and thermal properties. It has a high corrosion resistance. It has good dimensional stability and surface hardness. It has the highest heat resistance of all the polyolefins. Color is translucent white.  Temperature range: 32° to 210° F

 

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)

PTFE will operate in the harshest chemical environments. It is non-toxic, non-allergenic, non-conductive, and can be easily cleaned. It has a very low coefficient of friction (very slippery). Color is white. Temperature range -350° to 500° F.

Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF)

PVDF is a specialty plastic material in the fluoropolymer family; it has the highest purity, strength, and resistance to solvents, acids, bases and heat.

Ethylene-vinyl Acetate (EVA)

EVA is flexible (rubbery), with good low temperature flexibility (-70'C). It has a good chemical resistance and a high friction coefficient. It has a white to transparent appearance

Polyamide (PA)

PA-Nylon has excellent surface finish, strength, and stiffness. It is chemically resistant to hydrocarbons.
